Barbara Pippins
Elementary Administrator
I was born in Orlando, Florida but moved to Alabama at the age of three. I grew up in Samantha, AL where I attended Walker Elementary and graduated from Northside High School. After graduation, I attended Shelton State Community College before transferring to the University of Alabama where I received a degree in elementary education.
My husband Tim, is the pastor of New Horizon Family Worship and we have been blessed with two wonderful children. Caleb is in 8th grade this year and is excited about playing football for ACA. Caitlin will be in the 7th grade and enjoys playing the trumpet in band and taking weekly piano lessons.
There has always been a passion in my heart for teaching children. My first experience as a teacher occured at age 15 with a group of 4 & 5 year olds at church. This opportunity confirmed my calling to the teaching field and I have pursued it whole heartedly since that day. My teaching career has included:
- two years at Tuscaloosa Christian School
- five years as a Children's Pastor
- twelve years at ACA
This year, I will be assisting ACA in Elementary Administration. I am so excited about what God has in store for our school and am thankful to be a part of the ACA family!
